Game Day 2024 Preliminary Final vs Sydney

[Willsy10]

I've got absolutely no fckn idea what to expect tonight.

But what i do know is that if we play with ferocious intensity and pressure we will trouble the Swans.

The Swans have said that the round 21 112 point loss was the catalyst for getting their season back on track but i don't actually think they've been that good since then. The GWS win was impressive but everything else was nothing special. But peeling back the layers of that GWS win, GWS shat the bed not once but twice (very badly) in both final quarters of their finals, so maybe that win had more to do with the Giants inability to close the game out rather than Sydney being amazing. They were good, but GWS really should've put them away.

A lot is said about how poor we are in finals, and the stats don't lie. But I think Sydney have shown over the years that they can stink it up on the big stage too, especially when you hit them hard with pressure.

Why do you hope for this?

Off the top of my head Grundy and Chol have done it and we've won both, might've been someone else that did it too. I'm reaching for anything here.

 

[PowerLil]

Anyone going to Alberton? I'm considering it, think it'll be a great atmosphere, but thinking I'd rather be home where I can vent if things go sideways, and I can get access to beer easier.

Mr PL and me are heading to Alberton. Were there for 2014 semi v Freo as well.

i don't want them starting well.

Perfect day here

Swans don't normally start well

Anyone know if there is a match day stuff going on in Sydney? Any marches or meet ups?

 

[Marmozet]

Bwahaha No Respect

More proof that AFL is pre-determined.

 

[Marmozet]

Sydney won’t be beaten until the very end tonight - a 5 or 6 goal lead will mean very little.

Seriously, Kochie need to have a crack at the media agencies after the finals. The amount of content that completely disregard us is unacceptable. Our corporate support and sponsorship needs exposure and we seem to be an inconvenience to the AFL media industry as a whole.

It will make winning it all even better with us being underrated/written off.

While a part of me knows deep down that we will most likely blast piss tonight, one can't help but be excited at the prospect should it go the other way. Grand final week is a great experience

[glitch01]

Let's win it for my buddy's birthday!!

 

[afl2004]

Swans by 6 or 60 the only outcomes that I can see happening

 

[Alberton Proud]

Fcuk it
I’m all in tonight
Do it for the club
Do it for the fans
Do it for yourselves
Do it to stick it up the AFL
Do it to stick it up the doubters
Just win farken

Then sack Hinkley

 

[Hot Port]

Think Burton will start as forward and move to defence when required

 

[Willsy10]

Swans don't normally start well

exactly, so we don't want them too buck that trend tonight.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Really hoping our young leaders can stand up in this enormous game and make us proud.

It will be bitterly disappointing if they don’t, once again.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I thought Port for flag was a decent chance coming into finals. Week one threw everything off of course. I personally don’t think Sydney are flying, and they looked better in the front half of the year. The GWS win was huge, but the Giants find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Definitely winnable if Port bring it in every moment. It’s going to be hot hot hot in the middle tonight

the Big Panthers Club is the usual haunt

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Make sure no-one from your board sees you on your way out!

We only dream of finals over here. Mediocrity has become our thing.
I would straight swap Ken for Pepsi Nuts all day.

Nah not with Dixon in. If Dixon doesn't play I'd expect burton to go forward and play the Marshall role (hopefully not the subbed out by half time bit).

Otherwise he is replacing Lorenz so either the sub or he plays half back with Sinn as the sub.
